Spylab 'This Utopia'
Spylab - featuring Sophie Bancroft

As I popped in the new disk by our Glasgow friends Kenny & Jon best known as Spylab I didn't know what to expect. It started out as your typical triphop female vocals, Portishead clones. Yet the more you listen man does this suck you in with creativity. With its key influences to Massive Attack you'll hear how they stand out on their own. Key tracks like: In the Shade, Kabelski, The Uninvited (Scene 2), to Breathe Easy are works of art. Just when you think they cant out do themselves Pursuit (Scene 3) continues to let you flow with your journey. They are able to capture both darkness and beauty layered with clever beats. This is definitely worth checking out for fans ranging from The Cocteau Twins, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic to Lamb. Sophie Bancroft's voice will send shivers of sensuality up your spine....
